The Shape of a Mother - link to their website

http://theshapeofamother.com/

for some reason when I tried to add the link before, it ended up being embedded in the post title. That's not so helpful if there's no indication to the reader that it's available.

I have to say I'm not completely crazy about Blogger. I don't seem to have an option to edit a previous post. The templates are sort of ugly. My photos don't seem to stay attached to the post, so if i don't add new photos to the queue, an old photo stays at the top with the newer post.

I might switch my blog to another host. Does anyone have a blog host they totally love?

Wordpress!

I believe they can import your Blogger blog to Wordpress so that you don't lose any of your old posts too.

I am probably going to blog on wordpress from now on.

The Door is Open

I took this phrase from two sources:
the U2 song "Gloria", and my favorite Rumi poem:

"The Breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you
Don't go back to sleep
you must ask for what you really want
Don't go back to sleep
People are going back and forth
Across the doorway where the two worlds touch
The door is round, and open
Don't go back to sleep"

I have spent a fair amount of my life wide awake and dreaming, other times sleeping where my dreams were so vivid I wanted to go back and figure out how to make them real. How do I bring dreams into the waking world - dreams of creativity, of joy, of peace, of fun? How to take the shadow of my psyche and use it to heal myself and others instead of hurt?

I have eclectic taste - possibly insane taste - ranging from the sublime to the ridiculous. I like silly humor more than I like sarcasm. I have a lifelong interest in why the heck the world is the way it is... cause and effect? G/d/s? Quarks? Who knows. Even if I thought I knew, that would be faith. The intersection between faith and knowledge - a dangerous and blurry place.

As the Firesign Theater states ".... a force that can only be used for good... or evillllll..." but I don't remember what they were talking about, was it a time machine?

I'm blessed with brilliant and creative friends; you'll find links to their blogs, art and ideas here. I'll add my own art and interests as time permits. Daring to put ourselves out there is one of the greatest challenges many artists face. Creating is easy, sometimes it happens all by itself. Communicating... hard.
